Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I priced PIstons, rings, big ends, and gaskets the other day, that was for a TB42, that was around $1800, diesel is more than that.. So add labour, machining, etc. You would be keen to add a snail to one with 400,000 on it. Look at it, $8k for rebuild and snail, you could go a Chev conversion for ...

On the topic of old TD42's what would need to be done to a motor that has done just over 400k if the life expectancy is somewhere between 500/600, Fitting a turbo with out doing any other work I’m sure is going to break something quickly. Also would I be looking at for a full rebuild ($4k) + turbo ( ...

is your $1600 price tag including Duty and taxes? I priced a 3" kit from a company down south and it was ridiculous! much easier to go local parts (IMO). You may have less troubles with the legals too, as the US guys are subjected to far less scrutiny than us Aussies. Nope, this was just the ...

And with that comes the new possibility to modify this new car :) Anyways as the topic suggest is there anyone in Sydney that is supplying this lift kit? Anyone knows of a Calmini supplier on the east coast, or k ...

Although I’m not going to complain about having these, for a fourby that will be hitting a lot more dirt then pavement I ...

I’m looking at buying a Ford Maverick 91 SWB, I was looking at getting a Nissan Patrol SWB but after contacting the seller of this car I was told it was a Ford Maverick how ever they are just Nissan GQ's re-badge. Whets the difference in the Ford Maverick compared to the Nissan Patrol of the same y ...

Also the car needs to be tested for Australian standards, anyone up for importing a SWB GU so they can drive it into a wall and make sure it pass's our safety standards?

Good luck
Bob

I too would like to know the outcome, or any information about a GU SWB being imported, I have only herd rumors that the car needs to be of 10y/o before its able to be imported is that true, due to conflicts of interest in the local market Eg, GMH, If so then I guess you can just sit tight and wait ...
